How I Turned Back Pain Around

I vividly remember one evening, as I was preparing to take a relaxing bath, I bent over to turn on the water, and suddenly, I could not move. My back was killing me, and I was in excruciating pain. I managed to get an ice pack, crawled to bed, and prayed for relief. I did not understand what had happened.

I went to the doctor a few days later, prescribed Physiotherapy and meds, and three months later, I was still suffering from debilitating back pain. I tried massage, walking, and talking with several doctors about alternatives. Not offered many options beyond surgery, I was more stressed than ever, searching for solutions. I really did not want to resort to surgery which would not necessarily even help.

I felt frustrated searching for help. I was stressed, tired, and angry, and didn’t know which way to turn. Every aspect of my life, from work, family, and relationships to sleep and even taking a breath, was affected. All of this was consuming.

I was feeling alone in my pain. Pain can be hard to describe to someone, not in pain. No one could really understand how I was feeling.

Somewhere deep down within me, though, I knew my body could heal. I believed I could heal. I thought I could change. I knew there was an answer. BUT where was I to start?

I decided to start at the beginning. I began to reflect on my life. Then I had an ‘aha moment’ when I learned that our emotions can get stored in the body, and that can result in pain. I realized I had a lot of pent-up anger and resentment from my ‘superwoman’ years. Thinking I could do everything and be everything to everybody in those years. Does anyone relate? Sooner or later, something had to give ... and for me, it was my back. But then, now what? How do I unravel that? How do I release that ‘trapped or pent-up emotion”? How do I get rid of this debilitating back pain? That was a journey. But in a moment of clarity, I decided to get on a path of healing. I realized I did not have to hold on to destructive emotions like anger and guilt. I did not have to live in the past with suppressed emotions. I started taking small steps to tap into my body’s ability to release my anger and heal. In those moments, I discerned that I did not have to be everything to everybody. I could actually be imperfect. I found myself going to bed feeling at peace, sleeping with a hot pad, and praying for relief and healing.

Then one morning, after making this decision, releasing my emotions, and following this clear and focused prayer, I woke up, and I had no pain! With a holistic mind, body, and spirit approach, things quickly came back into balance and realigned, and the pain vanished. As soon as I had cracked the code on this and approached this in another way, I could move again, touch my toes, and enjoy simple everyday movements and activities I loved again. I had my life back, free from agonizing back pain, without increasing meds and possible surgery. I saw my prayers answered, and so can you. But you will want to approach this from a holistic multi-faceted approach; then, you can experience that shift that makes all the difference in the world.

Since that time, I have dedicated my life to helping other women find long-lasting relief from back pain.

Do you know most women suffer from some form of back pain? Unfortunately, most women suffer in silence, holding on to anger, sadness, disappointment, you name it… feeling hopeless as nothing seems to work for them. Everything seems like a superficial band-aid, and on some level, they too know deep down within that there is something deeper going on that their body is trying to tell them. But what that is and how to get to the root of that, and how to undo life-long patterns of people-pleasing and giving from resentment to the point of depletion and exhaustion ... well, that’s a process that precedes the answered prayer. In my opinion, that is the true gift and the reason for the pain in the first place.

The bottom line is that you do not have to stay stuck in life-distressing pain.

Following my success, it has become my mission to help women overcome debilitating back pain naturally and tap into their innate healing abilities so that they can enjoy a fulfilling, pain-free life.
